Why She's No.64
California girls get all the credit, but there's nothing like a trip to the beaches of Sydney to catch a glimpse of some of the hottest sun-kissed bikini bods on the south side of the equator. Sydney resident Jennifer Hawkins is a prime example. Donald Trump once referred to the former 2004 Miss Universe as "the most beautiful Miss Universe I have seen in many, many years," and that's coming from a man who doesn't find Angelina Jolie attractive. Jennifer has since gone on to host the travel show The Great Outdoors and has served as a host on Australia's Make Me a Supermodel, all while continuing her modeling career as the face (and body) of lingerie line Lovable Australia and the Australian department store Myer.

Week 9 day 1: over slept.... DANG! Not really the way I wanted to start our week off. My wife and I were doing so well for 7 straight weeks going to the gym at 5AM without fail. dont know what happened the last week but we are sleeping in... I would much rather work out in the morning, but, lately we are becoming a late afternoon/ early evening workout pair..
UBWO tonight for us.
On the positive side, I did my weigh in on my free day Sudnay. My total weight loss in 8 weeks stands at 19.5 pounds!
Andy- Congats at the huge weight loss! That is fantastic!
I hope everyone is doing well!
I had a rough weekend but I am back on track and feeling good! I tried on a pair of shorts this weekend that were really tight at the beginning of the challenge and they are a lot looser now! Not loose but looser haha. So that was encouraging.
Hey team sorry for the absence been crazy with work kids and life in general.. haven't missed any workouts but the food was pretty bad friday and saturday... Sunday started a new and been good the last 2 days.. I have been breaking some records last Friday and today got my military press up to 205 for 8 lbs on the smith machine and my incline bench on the smith machine 225 for 9 dumbell benchpress 100lbs dumbbells got 11 :) All since I started deadlifting again.. Andys WAY TO GO MY FRIEND!! Keep it up!! Mads congrats on the shorts :) BCTD hope u are doing well.. Keep your head up!!
Good morning Team,
I am back on my 5AM workout this morning. busted out a great cardio session. I hit 2.18 miles in my 20 minutes but went from 2,3,4,6 on the elevation! WOW That is killer!
Way to go Island_Dude! Your a beast pressing 2 - 100 pound dumbells for your bench press! I am up to 2 - 50's lol!
Good job Mads! that is a great feeling when the clothes start fitting looser :-)
Good morning gang! I am back in the saddle with my 5AM workouts. Hit my LBWO this morning. I have to say I am still a bit sore from my UBWO on Monday! I must be doing something right!!! Half way done with the week everyone, lets make them count! Stay strong and have a great day!!!
Hey gang checking in this week is proving tough trying to cover sick calls working day and overnights . ... wreaking havoc on my body.. o well so is life.. andys.. man you are a real inspiration.. Keep rocking it my friend.. Cant wait to see you at the finish line..
Still hanging in there....its been tough, but hangin on. I'll update later when I have some time
Good morning friends! Did my cardio this morning and with the new elevation changes I added in my 20 min HIIT training has made a huge difference! WOW! I have made it to elevation level 6 and this morning was able to keep a 8.2 MPH pace for 1 minute and that was minute 18 to 19! YIKES! I have finally made it back up to where i feel is a good distance almost at 2.25 miles in 20 minutes, but i have added elevation right now i go 2,3,4,6 for my circuit.
Have a great day everyone!
Hello BFL friends!
For those of us that started first week in February, (well January 30th), CONGRATULATIONS! 1 more workout (if your free day is like my free day on Sunday) and you have completed week 9!!!!! What a great feeling!
My wife and I had an awesome UBWO this morning. WOW! Honestly I was still a bit sore from Monday's UBWO so I had to really push. I actually experienced total muscle fatigue. I am talking total muscle burn out. I was in the middle of my last set of 12 on my bicep exercise and that was it. I tried to lift it again convincing myself it is a mental wall, yea, no go. Just totally gassed out. Welcome to my 10!
I cant wait for my run tomorrow and then the weigh in on Sunday morning!
Hope everyone is feeling well! WE GOT THIS! We can all do it! 3 more weeks. My geek translator says that is only 9 more cardio days, 5 LBWO, and 3 UBWO. FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS!!! Every workout must count as the best one of your challenge! Good luck on this final push!
Hey Gang! I will NOT let this thread fall to the 4th page again! Those of us that started the first week in February we are on our 10th week! WE CANT GIVE UP NOW!
I will say I had the worst "free day" Sunday since I started this challenge. Ugh.. felt terrible all day Sunday and still don't feel the best. My wife and I did get in our LBWO today. I know we have to kick it up an extra gear for the final countdown. Who's with me?
Andy and spouse, you are truely an inspiration and have kept us going.
I had some personal issues to deal with last week, missed a couple of workouts but other than that have remained on course.
Back on track with an UBWO to kill tonight.
Lets wrap it up in style here, as I am headed to Disney in 3 weeks
Hey crew Andys like bctd said you are a real inspiration Thank you for checking in when most no one else has.. BCTD finish strong my friend glad u are back on track!!
I hit a new best today on the dead lift..410 lbs for 3 reps.. no wraps no gloves.. all grip :) was a great high for sure
One day I might conjure up the testicular fortitude to ask someone to take a pic of me while im lifting it haha.. until then this is the best i can do :)
again guys.. You are both doing awesome.. We are at the home stretch!! much aloha!! check in later.. aloha
Thanks Island_Dude and BCTD. I dont feel like much of an inspiration, we are just trying our best to knock this out. My wife has missed a total of 7 workouts, I however have not missed one workout! We are doing well with the eating and just very happy how we are feeling. Knowing we came into this with no goals other than finishing I think has helped us take it day by day.
We knocked out our cardio this morning and worked up a good sweat! I have been dealing with Jury duty this week. That has thrown in a monkey wrench in my normal schedule but 2 days into the week I am making it happen. so far so good.
Stay strong everyone. We can see the light at the end at this point!!!!
LBWO tonight and ate well all day........have a great wednesday
Good morning BFL February friends,
We are the few, we are the strong! BCTD, Island_Dude, Mads1393, my wife, and I. I hope I did not miss anyone. We are in the slim percentage of people that try this program and SUCCEED! Those of us starting the first week of February are almost done with week 10! That to me is AMAZING! I hope everyone else is seeing the changes. I think we all have been feeling the changes since day 1.
My wife and I knocked out our UBWO last night around 5PM because I was just too tired to roll out of bed at 4:30AM. I have had 2 days of jury duty this week and it has kind of thrown a monkey wrench in on life, that stacked on top of a new boss at work. It is all good my training over the last 10 weeks allowed me to acknowledge and move on. Deal with the issues and just power through them. That being said, we slept in again today so I guess it will be cardio tonight at 5PM…
We ALL have too much time, energy, and effort invested to even think about quitting. The finish line is just ahead. We can see it! Keep focused and we will all complete this journey together!
Make today count! Hope you all have a great day!

The state of Texas on Wednesday asked that a Northwest side preschool be shut down after learning that its owners are under investigation for abusing their own adopted children.
The Honey Tree Preschool, in the 8300 block of Culebra sent all students home Wednesday afternoon because of a Child Protective Services investigation.
CPS spokeswoman Mary Walker said the owners of the daycare are being investigated because of allegations of abuse and neglect of their own adopted children, not kids here at the daycare.
CPS asked the owners to voluntarily shut down the facility during the investigation.
One parent said she was shocked to find out what was going on.
Many other parents said they are confused and baffled at this point.
KSAT will continue to follow this story as the investigation develops.

OMRI is ISO 65 accredited by the USDA Quality Assessment Division (QAD) for input product review and listing under NOP standards. At this time, QAD is not legally able to also provide accreditation for review under Canadian standards. However, OMRI uses the same policies and procedures for both programs and the new OMRI Canada Review Program will meet ISO 17065 standards.

I am new to Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and I have a lot of questions after using it for the past 4 days and getting aquainted. First off here are my system specifications:
HP Model h8-1214, 10GB PC3 10600 DDR3 SDRAM, 1.5TB hard drive, AMD FX 6100 6 -Core processor, AMD radeon 7450 HD graphics, Windows 7 64 bit.
This is supposed to be a top of the line computer and I was told it could handle video editing without any issues or hold ups after all best buy does not even carry higher end models then this one. I am currently working on two projects the first is a re-edit of 1 hours worth of Mini DV footage already edited in windows movie maker. The other is a 3 minute compilation of videos off my ipod nano. All the video files are stored on a 500 GB Toshiba USB 2.0 external hard drive. I have to say I am already experiencing hang ups, slow load time, NOT RESPONDING, and choppy footage when entering effects and titles. Also just as a test I initially put 1.5 hours of 960P high deff footage off my GoPro and threw in some effects, transitions, and menu options to see if Adobe and my computer could handle it. It did ok but it took almost 2.5 hours just to render and burn a single DVD.
I am used to similar crap on my wifes 400 dollar laptop but what do I have to buy for this thing to get it to just not stutter and work right. I am very angry at this point since I was excited that I could finally get a computer and not be held back by poor performance as I have been in the past. Any advice would be appreciated.
I will GUESS the ipod is like the iphone
Iphone won't edit http://forums.adobe.com/thread/881246
When you import video, before you do anything at all, do you have a red line over the timeline?
Yes I do have a red line over the timeline on the Mini-Dv footage. I thought I chose the right format for it is there an easy way to do it?
You definitely should NOT have red lines above your miniDV footage!
Go to Edit/Project Settings. What video settings are shown?
Here are the settings,
Frame Size: 1280 Horizontal 720 Vertical
Display format: 30FPS drop frame timecode
title safe area: 20% horizontal 20% vertical
Action safe area 10% horizontal 10% vertical
Those are not the correct settings for miniDV -- which probably explains your performance problems.
Start a new project and, for the settings, select DV. (There is both a standard and widescreen option.)
Your miniDV footage (captured over FireWire) should work wonderfully with those settings!
Thats my mistake for some reason I thought it would work like an up-convert to higher resolution. I am also curious now which is the proper high deff setting for a GoPro. I often use it in 960 and there is no setting I can find for 960, although several for 1080 but would it be the AVCHD, HDV, or DV for the GoPro?
Finding out exactly what is inside your video files will help you determine the correct settings

Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project
>thought it would work like an up-convert to higher resolution
No, you need to create a project that matches what you are editing
PrE does a poor job of up-converting. Most applications do a poor job, but many have found Red Giant's Magic Bullet Instant HD quite good. Test with the trial version of that progarm.
Good luck,
Thanks for the info on CODEC. I know the one long file I am re-editing is a MINI-DV based file transfered from a firewire on an older Toshiba laptop and the camera is a SONY HC-36. Since there is only two NTSC settings for MINI DV files, if I use one of them and get the green bar then all should be good and I wont need to find the CODEC for this one correct? Also with my GoPro since the HIGH DEFF footage comes straight off the Camera from the HDSC card I could just call the manufacturer and ask them what the correct File extension is and try it in Elements to make sure I get the green bar? Only if I continue to get RED above the timeline would I need to pursue the CODEC settings and possibly google them and purchase them to get them to work correctly in Elements?
It might be best to chase one issue at a time, bikercrze.
The miniDV footage issue should be pretty easy to resolve, if we focus on it.
Go Pro footage, however, is a whole different animal, and it's likely going to demand something of a hybrid solution.
If you set up a project for DV, can you use the miniDV footage in the project and NOT get red lines above the footage on the timeline?
That's definitely not miniDV footage captured over a FireWire connection by Premiere Elements.
Are you sure it wasn't captured over USB, through some third-party software, or even through a digitizing device?
All indications are that it's some form MPEG.
That particular file is a full length video file I had made last year using files that came from a firewire. I wanna say it was arcsoft showbiz that I had on my laptop and I used a firewire through that program to upload from my Mini DV. I then added all the clips and rendered the output file shown above using showbiz to save for future use. It is not fresh off the firewire. I did just try to open a new project with this footage using DV Standard and DV Widescreen both had the red line.
This video is "tainted" by whatever Arcsoft has done to it.
If you capture fresh miniDV video over a FireWire connection with Premiere Elements (or even WinDV) your video will be 100% compatible with a project set up for DV.
But these non-standard formats, including whatever ArcSoft created, are going to give you nothing but trouble.
Ok I have all the original un-edited video clips saved on my hard drive I will try to put a few of those in a fresh DV project and see if that works.
This is the info from a bare clip unedited straight off the firewire from showbiz. When I initially put just this clip in Elements there was no color at all. When I put a single video effect into the clip it then became red. I am confused now is it the same tainted type of file? The first clip I posted was a 58 minute long video file that one was red as soon as I put it in elements but it was also already rendered by Showbiz.
If I had the original tapes I would just do it all over again, however I do not have the tapes so I need to figure something out with these files to make them work.
This is not miniDV video either. It's video from a DVD.
The only thing I can think of is when my laptop crashed I had all the files recovered and they put the files on cd's. Could that have done something to put them out of context?
The placement of the files onto DVD, or CD, would not have transformed the format/CODEC. As Steve points out, the file shown is an MPEG-2 in a VOB container, which is part of a DVD-Video. At some point, a DVD-Video was produced, and this VOB/MPEG-2 seems to be part of that.
Good luck,

If the setting is correct you shouldn't get a line of any colour. When you then add effects or transitions the line goes red and you can render by pressing [ENTER] after which the line goes green.
But the key to success is the first part - a correct project setting match should not display any lines when first placed on the timeline.

That would mean the project setting you used was correct and ought to give you a good performance in PRE. The setting I would use for VOB clips is the NTSC> Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorders> Standard 48kHz. Is that what you used?
Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children
GoPro is problematic as there is no matching project setting for it. This article may be helpful for you: Go-Pro Helmet Cam Footage Editing Tips
Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children
I used both the Standard and Widescreen DV setting for the Mini Dv files not the hard disk setting. Both of those settings had no color lines until I added effects. I did not try to render once I added the effects but now I realize it was my mistake and I will try it again. Either way you say no colors initially is good so that pretty much solves that problem. This is new software I just can't believe all these issues.
Now that I can get the GoPro footage to work thanks to that post by nealeh above here is my next question. I plan to use footage from my GoPro and DCR HC-36 mini DV to get various angles of video at the same time. How can I make it so both of these files will fit in one project?
I have been editing some of my DV footage and it seems to be working just fine now. It is a little annoying since every time I put in a new effect or title over the video clip it goes from green to red until rendered. Is there a way to have it render automatically whenever you add something? Another thing I noticed is some of the clips remain with no color line above them, while others will have green and go back forth from red to green like I mentioned until rendered. Is this all part of how Adobe works? I want to be sure I am getting the full quality and performace out this system.

If you mean you want a Picture in Picture effect you place the clips on Video1 and Video2 and then adjust the size and position of the Video2 track using the clips Motion Properties.
If you mean you want to switch from one view to the other in a continuous timeline then you have to 'slice and dice' the clips to remove the unwanted parts. You could do this all within Video1 but personally I would put them on separate tracks and remove the unwanted parts from the appropriate track. This way you know exactly which camera the footage came from. The Split Clip (Ctrl+k) tool is your friend in this!

Yep that's normal. When you first add your clips you don't want to see any red above the clip(*) - that means your project setting is wrong. When you add an effect or transition, ie changing the way the end result will look, then the affected (and only the affected) part goes red. You can leave it red if you want - when you finally share your project the whole timeline is rendered regardless of the colour status. But if you want the preview to be a little smoother you can press [Enter] to render the red part - when finished they go green.
So providing your project setting is correct no lines mean the clip is as originally shot, red or green means the clip has had an effect or transition applied.
(*) Still photos though always come in with a red line.

Ok thanks Neale,
What I meant about adding both files is I have footage from my Mini DV and my GoPro which I will be adding to the same video project in order to get certain angles like my car taking off from a start I want the angle from the driver seat and from what people on the side of the road would see. So the question would be how do I add both Standard DV and an HD file to the same project timeline without having the red line problem.
By the way thanks for all the input you guys threw at me on this I have a much better understanding of how this program works now and I feel confident I am achieiving everything I can off my new system.

You have two choices. Either downscale your HD footage to DV-AVI and then have both added into an SD project. If you want to do a DVD this is the best solution. Or, if you plan an HD output (Blu-Ray or AVCHD), you can add your SD footage to your HD project. It can then be pillar/letterboxed (staying as sharp as the original) or enlarged to fill the HD frame (this will produce some blurring).

Bennie Chatman
Anthony Buchanan
Jabari Fields
Mardy Scales
Re: college 100 nationals
Dabryan Blanton will not beat Bennie Chatman neither will Brendon Christian. Chatman beat Blanton at texas relays in the final.

Rockford, Ill., — The Rockford College Art Gallery will host the Birds and Bones exhibit, opening February 22 and running through March 22, 2013. The opening reception will be Friday, February 22 from 6 – 8 p.m. The Rockford College Art Gallery is located in the Clark Arts center on the Rockford College Campus, 5050 East State Street, Rockford , Ill.
The exhibition Birds and Bones brings together the unique vision of three contemporary artists whose works resonate with varying aspects of the natural world. Ron Bell melds aesthetics and mechanics in his inanimate sculptures, constructed of metal, wood, glass and natural bone. Mark Crisanti's nostalgic and highly personal hybrid images that are part human, part bird make use of figurative painting and relics from the past. Kevin Veara's lush paintings speak of the abundance and beauty as well as the fierceness and danger in nature as he depicts birds and plants of the Sangamon River Valley.
The exhibition will be curated by Aron Packer of the Packer Schopf Gallery and Molly Carter of the Rockford College Art Gallery. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday from 3 – 6 p.m. and by appointment. Contact the Rockford College Art Gallery for more information at (815) 226 – 4000.

One year ago, I didn't predict that a book about predictions, "The Signal and the Noise," would be one of the top-selling nonfiction titles of 2012 or that its author, former Chicagoan Nate Silver, would become a cultural icon whose name is synonymous with eerily accurate forecasts.
But otherwise I did OK.
In fact, my record — 21 out of my 25 New Year's predictions for 2012 were correct — belies the subtitle of Silver's book, "Why Most Predictions Fail, but Some Don't."
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Readers did well, too. More than 1,300 went to my online poll and registered their guesses. Their collective wisdom was right on 18 of 25 predictions.
Was 2012 unusually predictable? In hindsight, I suppose so. I was correct on only 44 percent of my guesses for 2011 compared with 84 percent this year. But 12 months ago the outlook seemed cloudy.
President Barack Obama was fighting the head winds of a humdrum economic recovery, a looming fiscal meltdown in the eurozone, poor job approval numbers and a frustrated liberal base. Just before the Iowa caucuses, polls showed presidential hopefuls Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum in a statistical dead heat in the race for the GOP nomination.
Many thought the U.S. Supreme Court was poised to wipe out a key element in Obamacare and that the NATO summit in Chicago would devolve into chaos on our streets. A strike by Chicago Public Schools teachers seemed inevitable and unthinkable.
Readers and I wrongly predicted that U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s then-looming legal troubles would doom his bid for re-election. We didn't anticipate that his primary opponent, former U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson, would run such a weak campaign, and not even Nate Silver could have predicted that mental illness would cause Jackson to resign shortly after winning a 10th term in November.
We also thought that more than 300 demonstrators would be arrested during May's G-8/NATO summit (later downsized to just the NATO summit). In reality, Chicago police arrested just under 100 allegedly unruly activists over the surprisingly uneventful weekend.
And we erred in predicting that Tiger Woods would cement his comeback by winning one of golf's four major tournaments. He didn't. And odds are he won't ever cement that comeback.
My boldest prediction — that the suggested retail price of Amazon's basic Kindle would drop to below $50 from $79 — was a bust, and readers knew it. Today's price is $69. But I remain confident that, one of these years, e-book retailers will all but give away e-readers to help them sell more product.
On four questions, I got it right and readers got it wrong: I correctly guessed that Drew Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, would be convicted of murdering his third wife, that Chicago teachers would go on strike, that the national unemployment rate would be below 8 percent on Election Day and that the U.S. Supreme Court would find some way not to declare the insurance mandate in Obamacare unconstitutional.
On all other questions, readers and I nailed in 2012:
•We called it that Ron Paul wouldn't get even 12 percent of the vote in the Florida Republican primary (he got 7 percent) and that, despite a lot of windbaggery about the disaffected electorate, neither Paul nor any other third party or independent candidate would emerge to be a factor in the general election.
•We predicted Obama would keep Joe Biden as his running mate (recall there was talk he'd dump him in favor of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton) and beat Romney in the fall. We predicted that the Democrats would maintain their majority in the U.S. Senate and that Republicans would maintain their majority in the U.S. House, but that the bilious Republican U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh of McHenry would lose his re-election bid.
•We foresaw the pregnancy of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, the favorable ruling on gay marriage in the California courts, the imposition of a pay wall at chicagotribune.com and the end of the line for the Chicago-based TV talk show hosted by Rosie O'Donnell.
•We were spot on that all of Chicago's major professional coaches/managers would keep their jobs through the end of the year despite lackluster results in the standings.
•And, answering a question that seems to loom every January, we correctly predicted that, once again, lawmakers would talk and talk and talk about putting a casino in Chicago but fail to OK the idea.
The casino query is the first of 25 questions in the 2013 prediction survey, now posted online at chicagotribune.com/predict2013.
The new survey also asks about a variety of what former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld referred to as "known unknowns," such as the courtroom fates of a number of high-profile defendants likely to be in the dock in the coming year, including Richard Vanecko, William Beavers, George Zimmerman and Derrick Smith.
A year from now, who's going to be off and running in the 2014 race for Illinois governor? Will former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. be indicted? Who will win the special election for his seat in Congress?
How will the U.S. Supreme Court rule on gay marriage and affirmative action? Will Bears coach Lovie Smith and Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy still have their jobs?
How many Chicago public schools will close and how much snow will fall?
There's more, including an invitation to guess the sex of the royal baby. Fill out the poll online and I'll report the results and share my own Silverian analysis of the future here next week.
Bonus prediction: We'll all be around 12 months from now to check on how we did.

This Cone design is a result of many years of refining the process of hand-spinning cones The Legend Cone TM is Triple Spun from a specific aluminum alloy. The shape has been modified from a traditional style cone to produce a clear bell-like tone and lower resonant frequency. The Triple Spun process and highly polished finish improve response and sustain. Like all Beard cones, I personally spin each one by hand to exacting standards. The Legend Cone will improve the Volume and tone of any resonator guitar.

Free Go Pro Camera
The Go Pro folks have been doing a promotion for the past few months that you can get in on. Its called win everything we make and the title says it all. You sign on each day and they pick a name from the previous days entrys. You get the new go pro 2 and all of the mounts that they have in stock on that day.
They now have three cameras. The original is the 960 and its a nice little camera. It is discontinued but you still see some available. For the money I would buy the newer unit.
The Hero is the new 1080 unit and it has several add ons like a screen to be able to view what your filming live or playback and a 2nd battery back along with a soon to be available wifi interface that lets you control the camera with a computer of phone along with live web updates.
The newest Hero 2 goes from 5 to 10 megapixels and uses the same body as above so the same accessories work with both. The older unit is limited on some of the functions.
Another new item is a dual case and controller to allow you to film 3-d . When you sign up for the drawing take a look around their site.
Thier are quite a few similar cameras available and I would suggest that you check them all out before making the purchase. The tripod mount or flat mount can be attached to the cd camera bracket that is discussed in an earlier post for a quick and easy Kap rig. You can set the timer to take your still photos or use it in movie mode while suspended.
PS> If you win it would be nice to drop me a few of the mounts you dont plan on using as a thank you...GRIN..
Re: Free Go Pro Camera
Nice. No other information required than name, email and zip code. I guess I will have to put up with emails from them for the chance to win.

Re: Free Go Pro Camera
Go Pro came out with a new line of cameras just in time for last Christmas. They are smaller and lighter and higher resolution but generally the same. The mounts are all interchangable and best of all the contest is still on. You simply register a maximum of once per day and they pick from the list of todays entries.
The box at the bottom of the form can be unchecked so they will not send you emails if you dont want them. The site has information on the new and old cameras.
Re: Free Go Pro Camera
If you dont feel like waiting to win a camera of figure you luck will not award you one check out ebay for a deal. The old cameras are being replaced with the newer high resolution models so you can pick one up at a good price. Most of them also include extras like dual battery packs and screens that you can view you video in the field along with numerous mounts.
I was able to pick up a Hero 2 along with several hundred dollars worth of mounts and accessories for less than I paid for the first camera ( naked Hero) at a great sale price.
The 2nd and third generation have the ability to control the camera by using a smart phone. Check out the go pro website for more information and restrictions on features that vary with the camera models.

RENO — The City of Reno's Anderson Park was colored with small orange flags spotted along the edges of the walking path. The decorations were small, colorful reminders hiding a much bigger problem that litters parks throughout Washoe County.
Call it what you will — puppy poopie, dog droppings, animal feces — it's all bad, according to several park specialists who held a special press conference at the park Friday to kick-off a public awareness and education campaign about the need of dog owners to take care of picking up after their pets.
"It's up to you to pick it up," said Bob Harmon, spokesman for the Washoe County Parks and Recreation Department. "It's important for owners of the dogs to do that."
In a half-mile of walkway, officials placed 200 flags where owners left behind droppings of all sizes.
The joint effort of directors of the Reno, Sparks and Washoe County parks departments, along with representatives from Washoe County Health District and Washoe County Regional Animal Services feel the current trends of dog owners leaving behind the piles of feces is threatening the future health and safety of local parks, trails, waterways and open space areas.
"A growing number of dog owners who are choosing not to pick up after their pets is raising concerns abut the potential health threats to pets and people, especially children, who use local parks, waterways and other public places," Harmon said.
"We are on a dangerous course," Acting Washoe County Regional Parks and Open Space Director Al Rogers said. "We are also a community that loves our dogs and we're hoping to get a message out to all dog owners that it's their responsibility to help keep this a community we can all safely enjoy."
The community officials Friday stressed that owners should utilize Mutt Mitts that are available at most regional parks, but to first remember to bring along their own plastic bags to pick up the unwanted droppings.
In Sparks, the main problem areas are at the Sparks Marina and Golden Eagle parks, said Tracy Domingues, Parks and Recreation Director, who spent the morning with her dog, "Bear".
"A lot of owners let their dogs off their leads and don't pick up after them," she said. "It's always there."
Maintenance workers usually do the dirty work, she said, though their job is supposed to be to enforce the park rules instead.
"Unfortunately, they do pick up a lot," Domingues said. "We have Mutt Mitt stations all around Sparks Marina parks and we encourage people to bring their bags as well."
One problem with the increase in left-behind dog waste, Domingues said, might be that the economy is forcing people to do activities that are free to the public and encouraging them to take dogs out to parks more often. The mild winter didn't help either, she said.
Lt. Bobby Smith, a Washoe County Animal Control Officer, said fines can range from $100 to $400 and can reach the misdemeanor range if owners are caught allowing dogs to relieve themselves on sidewalks or other public areas.
"It is a big problem because it can cause a health problem for the community," Smith said. "It happens at any park or open space."
Washoe County code requires dog walkers to carry a suitable "instrument" for the removal and disposal of dog feces, and to remove it immediately. The code also mandates that dog owners have an absolute duty to keep dogs leashed in congested areas of the county, including public parks, unless otherwise designated.

Still, spokesman Jay Carney says gun control is not the only solution to stopping shootings like the horrific attack at a Connecticut elementary school Friday. He says no single piece of legislation or single action will fully address the problem.
Obama has said he is going to use the "power" of his office to tackle gun violence. Carney says the president will engage the American people and lawmakers on this issue in the coming weeks, as well as meet with law enforcement officials and mental health professionals.
Carney did not offer any specific policy proposals or timeline for tackling gun violence.

With the advent of the Food Safety Modernization Act, manufacturers of extruded and baked petfood and pet treats feel like they have their necks under a knife's edge. To some, that may seem overly dramatic, especially given the blade at their neck is held by the smallest of creatures: Salmonella.
Yet despite "kill steps" and a multitude of processing safeguards, a connection of Salmonella from home to petfood to manufacturing plant can spell near financial disaster to a petfood company. So, it shouldn't come as any surprise that there is an urgent search under way for a petfood additive that can provide a safety net well after all the other food safety steps have been completed.
Why an additive? For starters, no process is perfect. The food may be sterile at some point in the manufacturing process, but after it leaves the plant, store shelf or bag, any number of opportunities exists for (re)contamination.
Ideally, an additive with a residual effect would be beneficial. For example, compounds like formaldehyde would work for this purpose, but it has some serious side effects and certainly wouldn't be looked upon favorably by pet owners. Something natural and label friendly that is already accepted for use in petfoods would be ideal. Lactic acid may be just that ingredient.
Lactic acid has been a part of food preservation and flavoring for years. We encounter lactic acid mostly in fermented foods like sauerkraut, yogurt, buttermilk and sourdough bread. Lactic acid was first refined from sour milk in 1780 by the German-Swedish chemist Carl Scheele; its production by lactic acid bacteria was first described by Louis Pasteur in 1856. The first commercial production dates back to 1895 by the German company Boehringer Ingelheim. Today, lactic acid is used in the food, confection, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, plastic-polymer and textile industries around the globe.
Lactic acid (2-hydroxypropanoic acid; C3H6O3) is considered a carboxyilic acid. Because the hydroxyl group is adjacent to the caroboxyl group, it may also be referred to as an alpha hydroxy acid. In the food industry, lactic acid is commonly described as an "organic acid" along with others such as acetic acid (vinegar) or propionic acid. Lactic acid has a mild sour-acid taste and is used in foods as an acidulant and pH buffer. It can also be used as a dough conditioner, leavening agent and emulsifier. It is soluble in water and ethanol and has wide application for inhibiting microbial spoilage.
It is this latter function that provides the most utility to petfood. Early examples of its use occurred in semi-moist/soft-moist petfoods nearly 50 years ago. It was promoted in early patents for its flavor, water binding and acidification properties—necessary attributes to keep these higher moisture products from molding.
Whether it actually imparted any benefit to flavoring is not completely described in the literature. It may be more folklore than hard fact, but the lore suggests that dogs and cats have a slight preference for the sour acidic taste of lactic acid in foods when compared to untreated foods.
The bigger factor is lactic acid's preservation activity. It supposedly does this through disruption of the microbial cell membrane, which weakens the bacteria to the point of death. For these purposes, lactic acid in a petfood may be included at rates from under 1% to nearly 3% depending on ingredients and process. This matches with most of the literature in human foods, especially meat products, where microbial control (including Salmonella) has been achieved with application rates around 1% to 2%.
Lactic acid can be produced by synthetic means; however, the viable commercial production method today is fermentation. On an industrial scale, lactic acid is produced from carbohydrate fermentation with lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus delbrueckii, L. amylophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. leichmanii and a whole host of others. The carbohydrate starting materials are corn steep liquor, corn syrup, molasses and other inexpensive carbonaceous compounds. Fermentation is fairly rapid, going to completion within two to three days.
During fermentation, the pH in the fermenter is maintained with calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate, so the resulting end product is actually calcium lactate. This calcium lactate-rich broth is filtered to remove microbial cells and debris and then purified. By one process, acid is added to dissociate the calcium and create a technical grade lactic acid. For food and pharmaceutical-grade material, it is further distilled, then hydrolyzed with water. The process is under continuous revision by producers to improve yield, reduce input energy and costs and decrease environmentally unfriendly residues.
Commercially, lactic acid is available in liquid and dry forms at concentrations of 80%–90%. There are also mineral salts of the acid available for various applications. These include calcium lactate, sodium lactate and potassium lactate. They are more dilute powders (concentrations at about 50%) that are added to the flour or batter fraction of extruded or baked petfoods. From a regulatory perspective, lactic acid is approved for use in petfoods in most countries around the world.
Lactic acid is relatively easy to incorporate into dog and cat diets for the control of microbial growth; specifically, it may provide some residual Salmonella control after the food has left the manufacturing environment. Since lactic acid is naturally found in the gastrointestinal tract and systemic circulation and universally recognized as beneficial, there should be minimal push-back by pet owners. There are long-term rat studies showing the safety of its chronic consumption, but direct evidence in dogs and cats is lacking. We also lack meaningful descriptions regarding how this compound impacts petfood production or equipment wear.
Despite these minor shortcomings—and given that lactic acid is natural, is well liked by dogs and cats and plays a significant role in microbial control—it would seem to be a near ideal safety net for safe petfood production. Confirmation of this role and acceptance by consumers seems to be the only hurdles remaining to its wider use.
